ARSENAL STARTS PREMIER LEAGUE WITH A SPECTACULAR VICTORY
A spectacular duel, a start to dream about. The first matchday of the Premier League was spectacular for Arsenal: after a shaky start, Arsene Wenger's team recovered and achieved a great victory by 4-3 against Leicester.
Arsene Wenger does not call Alexis Sánchez
Just like in the debut, Arsene Wenger did not call Alexis Sánchez, who re-joined the preseason late due to his participation in the Confederations Cup with Chile and has some physical discomfort.
Arsenal faces the season with great enthusiasm
The London team faces this campaign with great enthusiasm after the signings of Lacazette and Kolasinac. In addition to the Chilean, the Gunners have the absences of Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey, Coquelin, and Özil due to injury, while Koscielny is ready to return after serving a one-game suspension.
